I am not sure why this has started to happen but today I tried to use my Tomcat7 after a long time and whenever I am trying to access any application it is throwing me this error:

 type Exception report

 message Unable to compile class for JSP

 description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it
 from fulfilling this request.

 exception

 org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

 An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null

More details about the exception from tomcat logs:

JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME are correctly set Also jdk/bin is also in path.

Answer 1

Reading from http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Miscellaneous it says that this issue may be result of:

1. Environment variable issue
2. Environment issue or Ant issue
3. Others have had success by added JAVA_HOME/bin to their PATH. 1 ... 2 and make sure you are using the full JDK and not the JRE.
